Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1868, by
THE AMERICAN UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION,
In the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
CAMBRIDGE: PRESS OF JOHN WILSON AND SOB.
PREFACE.
r I ^HIS book has been abridged from the larger work recently published, for two objects : to furnish a compact manual of devotion and of sacred music for vestry, conference, and social meetings ; and, at the same time, to extend the advantages of the Hymn and Tune Book to a considerable number of churches in which for various reasons a smaller book was desir- able. In arranging the hymns, both objects have been kept in view ; so that every page has at least one full hymn for the usual services of the church, and generally some shorter selections better adapted for use in the informal singing of the conference meeting.
The running titles at the top of the pages will in most cases be found to be descriptive of the hymns below, although changes in the arrangement of the hymns have occasioned a want of agreement in some instances.
A few pieces of music have been added, especially adapted for use in conference meetings, and also one or two favorite, chants.

n^HE Lord is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence A before him.
The Lord is nigh unto all that call upon him ; unto all who call upon him in truth.
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found ; call ye upon him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts : and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him ; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Oh worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness ! fear before hiixu all the earth.

Minister. 0 Lord, our heavenly Father, Lord of lords and King of kings ! we beseech thee with thy favor to behold and bless thy servant, the President of the United States, and all others in authority ; to fill them with the grace of thy Holy Spirit ; and in- cline them to walk in thy way, and to do thy will.

I. Sentences to be read by the Minister.
T?ROM the rising of the sun, unto the going down of the same, -*- the Lord's name is to be praised.
Let our prayers be set forth in his sight as incense, and the lift- ing up of our hands as an evening sacrifice.
Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Minister. Give ear, 0 Lord ! unto our prayer ;

People. Graciously hear and accept, 0 Lord, our heavenly Father ! the petitions of our hearts ; and grant us thy mercy, ac- cording to our great need and thine exceeding fulness.
Minister. 0 God ! who art ever good and merciful, save us, we beseech thee, from wandering thoughts, low desires, and vain ima- ginations, and from the waste of our time and neglect of thy warn- ings.
People. Save us from idle words and corrupt communications ;
14 SECOND SEHVICE.
from an impatient and discontented mind; from hatred and wrath; from all selfishness, uncharitableness, and deadly sin.
Minister. Almighty Father, who hast given thine only Son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification, help us to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may al- ways serve thee in pureness of life, and finally pass the grave and gate of death to our joyful resurrection. Grant to us to be poor in spirit, that ours may be the kingdom of heaven ; give to us godly sorrow and mourning for sin, that we may be comforted ; meekness, that we may inherit the earth ; hunger and thirst after righteous- ness, that we may be filled.
People. Grant unto us to be merciful, that we may obtain mercy ; to be pure in heart, that we may see God ; to be peace- makers, that we may be called the children of God ; and to be patient in all suffering, that our reward may be great in heaven. May we let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works, and glorify thee.
Minister. As we come here to pray, may we forgive, if we have aught against any brother ; as we hope to be forgiven of thee, against whom our sins are so many and so great. May our obedi- ence not stop with the outward act, but be of the heart. May all our communications be in the simplicity of truth.
People. May we be ready to impart to those who have need, and not turn away from the suffering and destitute. Help us to love our enemies ; to bless them that curse us ; to do good to them that hate us, and to pray for them that despitefully use us.
Minister. May we not be anxious about the morrow, but trust in thee. May we not chiefly desire to lay up earthly treasures, but rather treasures in heaven. May we earnestly strive to enter in at the strait gate, and to go in the narrow way that leadeth unto life.
People. So we pray, 0 Father ! that we may be of those who both hear and do the words of the Lord ; that, in the storm and
SECOND SERVICE. 15
tempest, our house may stand ; that our hopes may not fail us in the hour of judgment.
Minuter. Lord of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things, graft in our hearts the love of thy name ; increase in us true religion ; nourish us with all goodness ; and, of thy great mercy, keep us in the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
People. Graciously hear us, 0 Lord God ! and have mercy upon us, as we do put our trust in thee.
Minister and People. Unto thee, the Father of Jesus Christ, our Father and God, be honor and praise for ever. Amen.
Here may be introduced, at the discretion of the Minister, other seasonable Prayers, either extempore or from the collection of Prayers. .

introouctions.
In place of fhe Opening Sentences and Hymn as given in the Services, the following Introductions may be used, in which the Sentences and Hymns are to be read and sung responsively by Minister and People,
FIRST INTRODUCTION. Hymn 1.
/ \H come, let us worship and bow down, and kneel before the ^-^ Lord our Maker ; for he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
First Stanza : " Come, thou Almighty King," &c.
Xl^HEREWITH shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself ' * before the high God ? He hath shown thee, 0 man ! what is good : and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly before thy God ; for with- out holiness no man shall see the Lord.
Second Stanza : " Come, thou all-gracious Lord," &c.
TN thee, 0 God ! I put my trust. Thou wilt not leave my soul in -1- the grave. Thou wilt show me the path of life. In thy pres- ence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand are pleasures for ever- more.
Third Stanza: " Never from us depart," &c.
INTRODUCTIONS. 1 7
SECOND INTRODUCTION. Hymn 27. rpHE hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall -*- worship the Father in spirit and in truth ; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit, and they that wor- ship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
First Stanza.
/^OME unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I wili giv- you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Second Stanza.
T\RAW nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. The Lord -*^ is nigh to them that are of a broken heart ; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Thus saith.the Lord: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Third Stanza.
/~\H send out thy light and thy truth ; let them lead me, let them ^-^ bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Then will I go unto the altar of God ; unto God, my exceeding joy. This is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

Invocation and Ascription.
f~\ GOD, thou needest no words of ours to. praise thee ; but we lift ^^ our words of praise and supplication, so that we may be blessed in the sense of thy presence. We reverence thy power, we worship thy wisdom, we adore thy justice, we are gladdened by thy love, we are blessed by our communion with thee. We know that thou needest no sacrifice at our hands, nor any offering at our lips ; but we bow our faces before thee with humble hearts, and worship thee, the only living and /true God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the Father of all souls. We adore thee for thy bounty, which ever provides for us and all thy creatures ; for thy wise and fatherly discipline, which blesses while it chastens ; for thy free grace, which offers to us all eternal life ; for thine eternal pity and love, which enfolds us, and serves us, and blesses us, without stint or ceasing.
Confession.
T7ATHER, we confess to thee that we are wanderers from thy -*- way, that we forget thy holy laws, that we are willingly led astray by the vain and delusive promises of this world ; that we often harden our hearts against the voice of thy truth, and the pleadings of thy Holy Spirit ; that by excess or abuse we pervert thy gifts, meant in mercy, to tie harm of our souls and bodies, which are both thine. We rejoice to believe that our sins, great as
PRAYERS. 19
they are, are less than thy forgiving love. We bless thee for the free offers of thy mercy that have come to us through our Lord and Saviour, who, when we were yet sinners, died for us, to redeem us from our bondage to evil, and to lead us back to our Father's house. May we gladly and gratefully accept thy gracious offers of peace, and turn to thee with our whole hearts.
•
The Same.
A LMIGHTY and most merciful Father, we have erred and ■^-^ strayed from thy ways, like lost sheep ; we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts ; we have offended against thy holy laws ; we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, 0 L&rd ! have mercy upon us ; spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And grant, 0 most merciful Father! that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy name.
For Strength to resist Temptation.
"Y\7"E call to mind in our prayers the temptations which daily meet and entice us, and pray for strength to resist and overcome them. Arm us for the duty which thou givest us to do ; make us strong to bear every cross, patient and earnest to do every day's work in its season, and help us in all difficulty and danger to acquit ourselves like men. Deliver us from the fire of inordinate passion, save us from the chill of worldly ambition and selfish lust of gain ; and following him who was tempted in like manner as we are, yet was without sin, may we live honest and pure lives, in god- liness and filial love to thee.
20 PRAYERS.
For the Spirit of Love.
O END forth into our hearts the spirit of love, that casteth out ^ fear, and maketli the soul to cry, Abba, Father. May we love thee with sincere hearts fervently, and strive to make our love manifest in words of purity and deeds of mercy, justice, and charity. May we love each other with a holy love, full of kindness, patience, gentleness, and forgiveness ; not seeking our own, but each another's good. May we diligently endeavor to imitate thy universal and inexhaustible love ; loving not alone those who are dear to us by sympathy f and ties of kindred and affection, but loving also our enemies, if we have any, and those who are far from us in spirit and life, seeking to do them good. And when our earthly life is passed, may we enter the home of thy love in a better and happier world, to be ble for ever.
i
to be blessed and to bless in the interchange of all loving affections
Thanks for Life and its Blessings.
"T¥7E thank thee, 0 Father! for the mercies thou bestowest upon " us ; for the gift of life ; for the bodies which thou hast wondrously framed ; for the immortal spirit thou hast made for a season to dwell therein ; for all the faculties of our minds and the affections of our hearts. We thank thee for the continuance of life ; for the seeing of the eye, and the hearing of the ear ; for the use of reason ; for the daily bounties of thy providence, and the higher gifts of thy grace in Christ Jesus, our Lord ; for the joys and com- forts of this present life, and the blessed hope of a better life to come.
Prayer for Submission.
f~\ GOD, our Father ! thou pitiest us, and carest for us with a love ^ tenderer than that of a mother for her child. Let us not dis- trust thy love, or ever doubt thy wisdom, in the allotments of life. Lead us in the way thou choosest, though it be a way we know not,
PRAYERS. 21
and would not of our own accord choose for ourselves. Help us both to do and to bear what is thy will, with faithful and loving hearts. And we will trust thee to save us from all real evil, and to redeem the trials and sorrows we may have to bear, to be bless- ings at last to our souls.
May all conspire to the improvement and establishment of our virtue; and may we be conducted by thy wise and loving hand through all the dangers of this mortal life, and brought to our everlasting rest in the heavenly home, through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.
For the Church of Christ. f~\ GOD ! let thy mercy descend on the Church of the Lord every- ^-^ where ; purify it by thy Spirit, and preserve it from all enemies. Especially we pray that it maybe raised above bigotry and uncharitableness, and made one in the spirit of faith and love, even though it be divided in opinions and forms. Fill the souls of Christians, and fill our souls, with a deep and loving zeal for the Master. May all confess him with the lips and in their lives. May all be zealous in every good word and work ; in relieving human want and distress, in proclaiming the glad tidings to the poor, and in contending against every vice and immorality, every evil cus- tom and foolish fashion. So may the Church be a living church, beautiful in spirit and mighty in its power, till the saving truth of Jesus shall reach every land and class and person.
s
For the Holy Spirit. END upon us the power of thy Spirit, and may it come to our hearts, and enter in and dwell there, and make us feel that our God is not one afar off, but near us, dwelling in us, and re- vealing to us his love awd power and truth. May we feel that neither height nor depth nor distance nor darkness can hide us from thy presence, or separate us from thy Spirit. Come now, 0
22 PRAYERS.
Father ! to us, and touch our souls, till we feel the thrill and the joy of thy immediate presence, and sanctify us in thought, desire, and affection.
For the New Life.
VVTE bless thee, 0 God, our heavenly Father ! for the life thou * * givest, after and higher than the life of the natural birth, when our souls awake to the knowledge and love of thee, and of spiritual things. We thank thee for the power of Christ's word ; which whoso hears and receives with faith and love, he becomes a new creature, sees a new light shining on life, lives for new ends, is led by new and higher motives, and feels a pure desire to press on to perfection. 0 Father ! give us now this life, and new measures of it, if we have it already in part ; make Jesus to be more to us than he has been, and greater and more glorious, the one object we love best to look upon, until he shall be formed in us the hope of glory, and become the honored law of our daily words and actions.
For Perseverance in Well-Doing.
rflHOU, 0 God ! art continually working for the good of thy crea- -*- tures ; and though we forget thee, and go in evil ways of our own seeking, thou art not wearied, but still doest us good ; and by thy Spirit movest us to penitence and reformation, and heapest up for us rich treasures of grace and loving compassion. May we not be soon weary, or easily discouraged when temptation is strong, and the spirit weak, and difficulties rise up in our way. May we be willing to endure hardness, and patiently to bear with disap- pointment, and go on in the way of duty, and persevere in well- doing, that we may in due time reap immortal life. May we run with patience the race that is set before us*, looking unto Jesus, our glorious Leader and the Captain of our salvation, who, for the glory that was set before him, endured the cross.
PRAYERS. 23
For Zeal in doing Good.
T3REATHE into us thy loving Spirit, 0 God, our merciful Father ! -■^ that we may truly love our fellow-beings, and rejoice con- tinually in doing them good. If we cannot do great things, let us not be too proud to do little things, but be ready and glad to serve thee, by serving man, even in the least acts of kindness. May the spirit of kindness fill our hearts and rule our tongues, and prompt our actions, in all the relations of life, at home and abroad, towards those above us, as well as to those less favored than ourselves. May we be gentle and long-suffering in temper, not easily provoked, answering evil with good, both in word and deed, that we may be in truth thy children, and followers of the dear Lord, who went about doing good.
H
For Home Religion.
ELP us to show our piety at home, by patience and gentleness and forbearance towards each other, and especially to the young. May we deny the promptings of selfishness, and love of ease and bodily comforts, and find our joy in serving more than in being served, in giving rather than in getting, in ministering to the happiness of those who are dear to us, and filling their lives with the sweet joy that comes from a pure and fervent love.
Th-at we may imitate Christ.
TTELP us to keep daily and hourly before our souls the example •*- -*- of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Leader. May we strive to imitate his purity, his humility, his meek, peaceful, and sympathiz- ing spirit, his resignation to thy will, his diligence in doing good. May we have the temper as well as the faith of Christians, and walk in all respects worthy of our high calling, and press on towards the full stature of the Christian life.
24 PRAYERS.
That God's will be done.
fl RANT unto us such things as shall be good for us, though ^-^ we do not pray for them or desire them ; and deny us such things as would be hurtful to us, though we should earnestly desire them : and lead us in thy way. Order all things for us as seemeth right in thy sight, and do us good ; and so let thy will be done in our lives, and done in all the earth, and thy kingdom come.
Closing Prayers.
ORD of all power and might, who art the Author and Giver of "^ all good things, graft in our hearts the love of thy name ; in crease in us true religion ; nourish us with all goodness ; and of thy great mercy keep us in the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A LMIGHTY GOD, who hast given us grace at^his time, with "^^- one accord, to make our common supplications unto thee, and hast promised by thy beloved Son, that, where two or three are gathered together in his name, thou wilt grant their requests, — fulfil now, 0 Lord ! the desires and petitions of thy servants as may be most expedient for* them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
/"AUR Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy ^S kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation ; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

O. Ca# *o TFor5^?>. Ps. 95. Watts.
1 Come, sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing ;
Jehovah is the sovereign God, The universal King.
2 He formed the deeps unknown ; He gave the seas their bound ;
The watery worlds are all his own, And all the solid ground.
3 Come, worship at his throne, Come, bow before the Lord :
"We are his work, and not our own ; He formed us by his word.
4 To-day attend his voice, Nor dure provoke his rod ;
Come like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God.
T. The Sower. MONTGOMERY.
1 Sow in the morn thy seed, At eve hold not thy hand ; To doubt and fear give thou no heed : Broadcast it oVr the land !
2 Beside all waters sow, The highway furrows stock,
Drop it where thorns and thistles grow. Drop it upon the rock !
3 The good, the fruitful ground Expect not here nor there ;
O'er hill and dale and plain 'tis found : Go forth, then, everywhere !
& And duly shall appear,
In verdure, beauty, strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear, And the full corn at length.
J, Enjoyment in Worship. 8PIRIT of the Psalms
1 Sweet is the task, O Lord ! Thy glorious acts to sing,
To praise thy name, and hear thy word. And grateful offerings bring.
2 To songs of praise and joy Be every sabbath given,
That such may be our blest employ Eternally in heaven !

27^ Sabbath welcomed. WATTS.
1 Welcome, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise !
Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes !
2 The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to-day ;
Here may we sit, and see him here, And love and praise and pray.
3 One day amid the place
Where Christ, my Lord, has been, Is sweeter than ten thousand days . Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss.
Praise.

1 Stand up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of his choice; Stand up, and bless the Lord your God, With heart and soul and voice.

From his own altar brought, To touch our lips, our minds inspire, And raise t# heaven our thought !

Lord ! in this sacred hour, Within thy courts, we bend, And bless thy love, and own thy power, Our Father and our Friend !
2 But thou art not alone
In courts by mortals trod, Nor only is the day thine own When man draws near to God.
3 Thy temple is the arch Of yon unmeasured sky ;
Thy sabbath, the stupendous march Of grand eternity.

And purer worship may we pay In heaven's unclouded li^ht I

Surrounding the Mercy Seat. J. TAYLOR
1 Far from mortal cares retreating,
Sordid hopes and fond desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting,
Every heart to heaven aspires. From the Fount of glory beaming,
Light celestial cheers our eyes ; Mercy from above proclaiming,
Peace and pardon from the skies.
2 Who may share this great salvation ? -
IJvery pure and humble mind ; Every kindred, tongue, and nation,
From the dross of guilt refined : Blessings all around bestowing,
God withholds his care from none ; Grace and mercy ever flowing
From the fountain of his throne.
3 Every stain of guilt abhorring,
Firm and bold in virtue's cause ; Still thy Providence adoring,
Faithful subjects to thy laws, — Lord ! with favor still attend us,
Bless us with thy wondrous love ; Thou, our sun and shield, defend us :
All our hope is From above.
Divine Love.
Wesley's Col.
1 Love divine, ail love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down ; Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown. Father ! thou art all compassion, —
Pure, unbounded love thou art ; Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every longing heart.
2 Breathe, oh breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast ; Let us all in thee inherit,
Let us find, thy promised rest. Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive ; Graciously come down, and never,
Never more thy temples leave.

Sabbath Morning. A^OXYMOUS.
1 Welcome, welcome, quiet morning,
Welcome is this holy day ; .Now the sabbath morn, returning,
Shows a week has passed away. Let us think how time is gliding ;
Soon the longest life departs ; Nothing human is abiding,
Save the love of humble hearts.
2 Love to God, and to our neighbor, Makes our purest happiness ; Vain the wish, the care, the labor, Earth's poor trifles to possess.
Father, now one prayer we raise ^hee .
Give an humble, grateful heart ; Never let us cease to praise thee,
Never from thy fear depart.

1 God is in his holy temple :
Earthly thoughts, be silent now, While with reverence we assemble,
And before his presence bow. He is with us now and ever,
When we call upon his name, Aiding every good endeavor,
Guiding every upward aim.
2 God is in his holy temple, —
In the pure and holy mind ; In the reverent heart and simple ;
In the soul from sense refined : Then let every low emotion
Banished far and silent be, And our souls in pure devotion,
Lord, be temples worthy thee !

Of mingled praise and prayer, Are but a worthless sacrifice, Unless the heart is there.

Let no vain words intrude ; No tribute but the vow sincere, — The tribute of the good.

God has brought us on our way : Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day, — Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we seek supplies of grace,
Through the dear Redeemers name, Show thy reconciling face ;
Take away our sin and shame : From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in thee !
3 Here we come thy name to praise ;
Let us feel thy presence near ; May thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in thy house appear! Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast.
4 May the gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints ; Make the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief from all complaints !
Thus let all our sabbaths prove, Till we join the Church above.

1 Blest hour, when mortal man retires To hold communion with his God, To send to heaven his warm desires, And listen to the sacred word.
2 Blest hour, when earthly cares resign Their empire o'er his anxious breast ; While, all around, the calm divine Proclaims the holy day of rest.
3 Blest hour, when God himself draws
nigh. Well pleased his people's voice to hear, To hush the penitential sigh, And wipe away the mourner's tear.
4 Blest hour ! for, where the Lord resorts, Foretastes of future bliss are given, And mortals find his earthly courts
The house of God, the gate of heaven.

Where'er they seek thee, thou art found, And every place is hallowed ground.

Such ever bring thee where they come, And, going, take thee to their home.
3 With heavenly grace our souls endue ; Thy former mercies here renew ; Here to our waiting hearts proclaim The sweetness of thy saving name.
4 Here may we prove the power of prayer To strengthen faith and sweeten care : To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eye?.

From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer.

The penitential tear, And all his promises to plead Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven ; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven.

May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day !

4:0. An Evening Hymn. Watts.
1 Thus far the Lord has led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days ; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home ; But he forgives my follies past,
And gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep ; Peace is the pillow for my head ; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed.
4 Faith in his name forbids my fear : Oh may thy presence ne'er depart ! And in the morning make me hear Thy love and kindness in my heart.
.49. The Bread of Life.
Father, supply my every need; Sustain the life thyself hast given, Oh grant the never- failing bread, The manna that conies down from heaven !
OU. Retirement and Meditation. WATTS
1 My God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and thee : Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Wiry should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth ? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go ?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense, One sovereign word can draw me thence : I would obey the voice divine,
And all inferior joys resign.
4 Be earth, with all her scenes, withdrawn ; Let noise and vanity be gone ;
In secret silence of the mind,
My heaven, and there my God, I find.

3 Do thou thy gracious comfort give, By which alone the soul can live ; And grant thy children, Lord, we pray, The bread of life from day to day.

1 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night Great Guardian of my sleeping hours : Thy sovereign word restores the light, And quickens all my drowsy powers

1 Gently, Lord, oh ! gently lead us
Through this lonely vale of tears, Through the changes thou'st decreed us, Till our last great change appears.
2 When temptation's darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stray, Let thy goodness never fail us ; Lead us in thy perfect way.
3 In the hour of pain and anguish,
In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish, Suffer not our souls to fear.

May we wake among the blest ; And, by all the saints attended, Ever on thy bosom rest !

3 Thou didst seek me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold above ;
Thou, to save my soul from danger,
Didst redeem me with thy love.

Safe through life thus fir I've come: Safe, O Lord ! when life is ended, Bring me to my heavenly home.

" itoe, my Sow/."
Rippon's Col.
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, —
Thy better portion trace ; Rise, from transitory things,
Towards heaven thy native place : Sun and moon and stars decay,
Time shall soon this earth remove ; Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course ; Fire ascending seeks the sun, —
Both speed them to their source : So a soul that's born of God
Pants to view his glorious face, Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.

Wesleyan.
1 Open, Lord, my inward ear, And bid my heart rejoice ; Bid my quiet spirit hear The comfort of thy voice :
Never in the whirlwind found, Or where earthquakes rock the place, — Still and silent is the sound, The whisper of thy grace.
From the world of sin and noise
And hurry, I withdraw ; For the small and inward voice
I wait with humble awe : Silent I am now and still, Dare not in thy presence move ; To my waiting soul reveal
The secret of thy love.
67.
He Careth for Thee.
Wesley.
God shall bless thy going out,
Shall bless thy coming in ; Kindly compass thee about,
Till thou aVt saved from sin. Lean upon thy Father's breast ;
It is he thy spirit keeps : Rest in him, securely rest ;
Thy Guardian never sleeps.

Let the soul expand her stores, Glowing with the joy she feels.

2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought, Who countless years his God has sought, Such wondrous height or depth can find, Or fully trace thy boundless mind.
8 And yet thy kindness deigns to show Enough for mortal minds to know ; While wisdom, goodness, power divine, Through all thy works and conduct shine.
4 Oh may our souls with rapture trace Thy works of nature and of grace, Explore thy sacred truth, and still Press on to know and do thy will !

And with its tremblings mingle joy, In fixed regard, great God, to thee
3 Oh ever conscious to my heart, Witness to its supreme desire ! Behold ! it presseth on to thee, For it hath caught the heavenly fire.

1 God is love : his mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove ; Bliss he wakes, and woe he lightens : God is wisdom, God is love.
2 Chance and change are busy ever ;
Man decays, and ages move ; But his mercy waneth never : God is wisdom, God is love.
8 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth Will his changeless goodness prove ; From the gloom his brightness streameth : God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above ; Everywhere his glory shineth : God is wisdom, God is love.

1 Yes, for me, for me He careth With a father's tender care ; Yes, with me, with me he shareth Ev^ry burden, every fear.
2 Yes, in me abroad he sheddeth
Joys unearthly, love and light; And to cover me he spreadeth His paternal wing of might.
3 Yes, in me, in me he dwelleth;
I in him, and he in me : And my empty soul he filleth, Here and through eternity.
O^r. The Heart given to God. WE3LEYAH
1 Take my heart, 0 Father ! take it,
Make and keep it all thine own ; Let thy Spirit melt it, break it, — This proud heart of sin and stone.
2 Father, make it pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife, Turning from the paths unholy Of this vain and sinful life.
3 Ever let thy grace surround it;
Strengthen it with power divine. Till thy cords of love have bound it.— Made it to be wholly thine.

1 The Lord my Shepherd is ; I shall be well supplied :
Since he is mine, and I am his, What can I want beside ?
2 He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows.
3 If e'er I go astray,
He doth my soul reclaim, And guides me in his own right way, For his most holy name.
4 While he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear :
Though I should walk thro1 death's dark shade, My Shepherd's with me there.

3 Whate'er thy will denies, I calmly would resign :
For thou art just and good and wise . Oh bend my will to thine !
& Whate'er thy will ordains,
Oh give me strength to bear , Still let me know a Father reigns, And trust a Father's care !

Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay ; No harm can befall, with my comforter near.

3 I hear it in the rushing breeze : The hills that have for ages stood, The echoing sky and roaring seas, All swell the chorus, " God is good."
4 Yes, God is good, all nature says,
By God's own hand with speech endued , And man, in louder notes of praise, Should sing for joy that God is good.11
5 For all thy gifts we bless thee, Lord ; But chiefly for our heavenly food,
Thy pardoning grace, thy quickening
word : These prompt our song, that God is good.

The One Petition.
Mrs. Steele.
1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign hand denies, Accepted at thy throne of grace, Let this petition rise : —
2 " Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From every murmur free ; The blessings of thy grace impart, And make me live to thee ;
8 Let the sweet hope that thou art mine, My life and death attend ; Thy presence through my journey shine, And crown my journey's end.1'
1 OQ Submission to the Divine Disposal.
LyjV* COWPER.
1 O Lord ! my best desires fulfil ;
And help me to resign Life, health, and comfort to thy will, And make thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at thy command,
Whose love forbids my fears ; Or tremble at thy gracious hand, That wipes away my tears P

God speaking Peace to his People. Ps. 85 Doddridge
1 Unite, my roving thoughts, unite
In silence soft and sweet ; And thou, my soul, sit gently down At thy great Sovereign's feet.
2 Jehovah's awful voice is heard,
Yet gladly I attend ; For, lo ! the everlasting God* Proclaims himself my friend.
3 Harmonious accents to my soul
The sound of peace convey ; The tempest at his word subsides, And winds and seas obey.
4 By all its joys I charge my heart
To grieve his love no more ; But, charmed by melody divine, To irive its follies o'er.

3 Thy gifts are only then enjoyed,
When used as talents lent ; Those talents only well employed When in thy service spent.

Shall I arraign thy will ? Xo : let me bless thy name, and say, " The Lord is gracious still."

1 O thou whose power o'er moving worlds presides, Whose voice created, and whose wisdom guides ! On darkling man in pure effulgence shine,
And cheer the clouded mind with light divine.
2 'Tis thine alone to calm the pious breast With silent confidence and holy rest :
From thee, great God, we spring, to thee we tend,- Path, Motive, Guide, Original, and End.
My Heaven in Thee.
1 Father divine, this deadening power control, Which to the senses binds the immortal soul ; Oh break this bondage, Lord ! I would be free, And in my soul would find my heaven in thee.
2 My heaven in thee ! — O God ! no other heaven, To the immortal soul, can e'er be given :
Oh let thy kingdom now within me come, And as above, so here, thy will be done !
3 My heaven in thee, O Father ! let me find, — My heaven in thee, within a heart resigned : No more of heaven and bliss, my soul, despair ; For where my God is found, my heaven is there.

1 When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore :
2 So to the heart that knows thy love, O Purest I
There is a temple, sacred evermore ; And all the Babel of life's angry voices
Dies in hushed stillness at its peaceful door.
3 Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth,
And loving thoughts rise calm and peacefully ; And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flieth, Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Lord ! in thee.
" He giveth power to the faint."
1 Father, to us thy children, humbly kneeling, Conscious of weakness, ignorance, sin, and shame, Give such a force of holy thought and feeling,
That we may live to glorify thy name,
2 That we may conquer base desire and passion, That we may rise from selfish thought and will, O'ercome the world's allurement, threat, and fashion.
Walk humbly, gently, leaning on^hee still.

t
2 By day, along the astonished lands
The cloudy pillar glided slow ;
By night, Arabia's crimsoned sands
Beturned the fiery column's glow.
3 Thus present still, though now unseen, When brightly shines the prosperous day, Be thoughts of thee a cloudy screen,
To temper the deceitful ray.
4 And oh ! when gathers on our path,
In shade and storm, the frequent night, Be thou, long-suffering, slow to wrath, A burning and a shining light.

2 Thrice blest will all our blessings be, When we can look through them to thee ; When each glad heart its tribute pays Of love and gratitude and praise.
1 ZO. TJie Christian Warfare. MRS. Barbauld.
1 Awake, my soul : lift up thine eyes, — See where thy foes against thee rise. In long array, a numerous host I Awake, my soul, or thou art lost.

1 When darkness long has veiled my mind, And smiling day once more appears, Then, my Creator, then I find,

Thus prone to act so base a part, Or harbor one hard thought of thee.

8 Oh let me then at length be taught What I am still so slow to learn, — That God is love, and changes not, Nor knows the shadow of a turn !
4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat ; But, when my faith is sharply tried, I find myself a learner yet, Unskilful, weak, and apt to slide.
5 But, O my God ! one look from thee Subdues the disobedient will, Drives doubt and discontent away, And thy rebellious child is still.
"I OO For Guardianship and Guidance.
1&&* Moravian.
1 O Tnou, to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light ! Search, prove my heart ; it pants for thee : Oh burst these bonds, and set it free !
2 If in this darksome wild I stray, Be thou my light, be thou my way : No foes, no violence, I fear;
No ill, while thou, my God, art near.
3 When rising floods my soul o'erfiow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, O God ! thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head and cheer my heart.
4 If rough and thorny be the way, My strength proportion to my day ; Till toil and grief and pain shall cease, Where all is calm and joy and peace.
123. «
Oh when wilt thou come unto me!" H. V. T.
1 Come to me, Lord, when first I wake, As the faint lights of morning break; Bid purest thoughts within me rise, Like crystal dewdrops, to the skies.
2 Come to me in the sultry noon ;
Or earth's low communings will soon Of thy dear face eclipse the light, And change my fairest day to night.
3 Come to me in the evening shade ; And if my heart from thee have strayed, Oh bring it back, and from afar
Smile on me like thine evening star !
4 Come to me in the midnight hour, When sleep withholds her balmy power ; Let my lone spirit find its rest,
Like John, upon my Saviour's breast.
5 Come to me through life's varied way ; And, when its pulses cease to play, Then, Father, bid me come to thee, That where thou art thy child may be.

Wisdom and Virtue sought from God.
Henry Moorb
1 Assist us, Lord, to act, to be, What nature and thy laws decree, Worthy that intellectual flame Which from thy breathing Spirit came.
2 Our moral freedom to maintain,
Bid passion serve, and reason reign; Self-poised, and independent still On this world's varying good or ill.
3 May our expanded souls disclaim The narrow view, the selfish aim ; But with a Christian zeal embrace What e'er is friendly to our race !
4 O Father ! grace and virtue grant ; No more we wish, no more we want: To know, to serve thee, and to love, Is peace below, — is bliss above.

1 Lord, I believe a rest remains,
To all thy people known ; A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, And thou art loved alone ;
2 A rest, where all our soul's desire
Is fixed on things above, — Where fear and sin and grief expire, Cast out by perfect love.
3 Oh that I now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in ! Now, Father, now the power bestow, And let me cease from sin.
4 Remove all hardness from my heart,
All unbelief remove ; To me the rest of faith impart, The sabbath of thy love.

"He hnoweth what ye have need of."
1 Author of good, we rest on thee : Thine ever-watchful eye Alone our real wants can see ; Thy hand alone supply.
2 In thine all-gracious providence
Our cheerful hopes confide : Oh let thy power be our defence, Thy love our footsteps guide !
3 And since, by passion's force subdued.
Too oft, with stubborn will, We blindly shun the latent good, And grasp the specious ill, —
4 Not what we wish, but what we want,
Let mercy still supply : The good unasked, O Father ! grant ; The ill, though asked, deny.
Solomon's Prayer for Wisdom.

To thee our souls we lift ; Do thou our waiting minds prepare For thy most needful gift.

3 Return, O holy Dove ! return,
Sweet messenger of rest : I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast.

All Things work together for Good. FABER.
1 I worship thee, sweet will of God,
Awl all thy ways adore ; And every day I live, I long To love thee more and more.
2 Man's weakness, waiting upon God,
Its end can never miss ; For man on earth no work can do More angel-like than this.
3 He always wins who sides with God:
To him no chance is lost ; God's will is sweetest to him when It triumphs at his cost.

And sees the tempter fly ;

And armed with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer.

1 God, who is just and kind, Will those who err instruct,
And in the paths of righteousness Their wandering steps conduct.
2 The humble soul he guides ; Teaches the meek his way ;
Kindness and truth he shows to all Who his just laws obey.
3 Give me the tender heart That mingles fear with love,
And lead me through whatever path Thy wisdom shall approve.
4 Oh ever keep my soul
From error, shame, and guilt ; Nor suffer the fair hope to fail, Which on thy truth is built.

And every longing satisfied, With full salvation blest.

But draws, when acted for thy sake,

With thy smile, or with thy rod, 'Twas that still my step might hasten
Homeward, heavenward, to my God.
Oh how slowly have I often
Followed where thy hand would draw \ How thy kindness failed to soften !

As thy path is longer trod ; Keep me in thy friendship steady,

It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight.

For ever sure thy promise, Lord, And we securely trust.

Oh may I never read in vain, But find the path to heaven !

Till righteousness and holy joy In all our hearts appear !
3 Water the sacred seed, And give it large increase ;
May neither fowls nor rocks nor thorns Prevent the fruits of peace !
4 And though we sow in tears, Our souls at last shall come,
And gather in our sheaves with joy, At heaven's great harvest-home.

Life, love, and joy still gliding through, And watering our divine abode.
2 That sacred stream, thine holy word, That all our raging fear controls : Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls.
JLt:?7. " Creator Spirit." DRYDEN.
1 O Source of uncreated light,
By whom the worlds were raised from
night, Come, visit every pious mind ; Come, pour thy joys on human kind.
? Plenteous in grace, descend from high, Rich in thy matchless energy;
From sin and sorrow set us free, And make us temples worthy thee.
3 Cleanse and refine our earthly parts, Inflame and sanctify our hearts, Our frailties help, our vice control. Submit the senses to the soul.
•i Thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire ! Our hearts with heavenly love inspire ; Make us eternal truths receive ; Aid us to live as we believe.
-LOU. God our Safety Wesletan
1 Tnou art the weary wanderer's rest ; Give me the easy yoke to bear :
With steadfast patience arm my breast, With spotless love and lowly fear.
2 Speak to my warring passions, <; Peace; " Say to my trembling heart, " Be still • M Thy power my strength and fortress is. For all things serve thy holy will.
101. Srlf- Consecration. Oberlin
1 O Lord ! thy heavenly grace impart, And fix my frail, inconstant heart : Henceforth my chief desire shall be To dedicate myself to thee.
2 Whatever pursuits my time employ, One thought shall fill my soul with joy : That Bilent, secret thought shall be That all my hopes are fixed on thee.

27ie Nativity.
E. H. SEAR«.
1 Calm, on the listening ear of night,
Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judasa stretches far Her silver-mantled plains.
2 Celestial choirs, from courts above,
Shed sacred glories there ; And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air.
3 The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply ; And greet, from all their holy heights. The day-spring from on high.
4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee,
There comes a holier calm ; And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, Her silent groves of palm.
5 M Glory to God," the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring ; "Peace to the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's Eternal King ! "
6 Light on thy hills, Jerusalem ! The Saviour now is born ; And bright, on Bethlehem's joyous plaina, Breaks the first Christmas morn.
153. Example of Christ. Enfield.
1 Behold where, in a mortal form
Appears each grace divine ! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light.
To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor. Was his divine employ.
3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek he stood : His foes, ungrateful, sought his life ; He labored for their good.
4 In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne, With soul resigned he bowed, and ^aid, *' Thy will, not mine, be done "

IOt:. The AngeVs Song. E. H. SEARS.
1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold : 11 Peace on the earth, good-will to men
From heaven's all-gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly musk' floats
O'er all the weary world : Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 But with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long ;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not The love-song which they bring :
Oh ! hush the noise, ye men of strife, And hear the angels sing.
4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow, — Look now ; for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the -wing: Oh rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing !

Who claim thy promised bliss? But oh ! all merciful and just,
Thy love surpasseth thought: A gracious Saviour has appeared,
And peace and pardon brought

1 56. Effects of the Mission of Christ. Watts.
1 Joy to the world ! the Lord is come :
Let earth receive her King ; Let every heart prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing.
2 Joy to the earth ! the Saviour reigns :
Let men their songs employ, [plains, While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and Repeat the sounding joy.
3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground : He comes to make his blessings flow As far as sin is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness, And wonders of his love.
JL O 7 • ^ Guiding Star, spirit of the Psalms.
1 Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild, benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed Where the Redeemer lay.
2 But. lo ! a brighter, clearer light,
Now points to his abode : It shines through sin and sorrow's night, To guide us to our Lord.
3 Oh haste to follow where it leads !
The gracious call obey, Be rugged wilds or flowery meads The Christian's destined way.
4 Oh gladly tread the narrow path,
While light and grace are given : Who meekly follow Christ on earth Shall reign with him in heaven.
XOO. Invitations of the Gospel. Watt?
1 Ho ! all ye hungry, starving souls.
Who feed upon the wind, And vainly strive, with earthly toys, To fill an empty mind, —

A soul-reviving feast, And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste.

1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death, Rise on us, thyself revealing ;
Rise, and chase the clouds beneath.
2 Thou, of life and light creator,
In our deepest darkness rise ; Scatter all the night of nature, Pour the (Jay upon our eyes.
u Still we wait for thine appearing : Life and joy thy beams impart ; Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every meek and contrite heart.
4 Save us, in thy great compassion, O thou God of peace and love ! Give the knowledge of salvation, Fix our hearts on things above.
1 bU. The Cross of Christ.
I In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time : All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
BOWRING.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me.
Hopes deceive and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me : Lo ! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way. From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified : Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.
161.
Coming of Christ.
1 Come, thou long-expected Saviour,
Born to set thy people free, — From our fears and sins deliver ; Let us find our rest in thee

Rule in all our hearts alone; Let ud all in thee inherit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

Invitations of Jesus, Mrs. Barbauld.
1 Come, said Jesus' sacred voice, — Come, and make my paths your choice ; I will guide you to your home : Weary pilgrim, hither come.
2 Thou who, houseless, sole, forlorn, Long hast borne the proud world's scorn, Long hast roamed the barren waste, Weary pilgrim, hither haste.
3 Ye who, tossed on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain ; Ye whose swoln and sleepless eyes Watch to see the morning rise ;
4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,
In remorse for guilt who mourn, — Here repose your heavy care : A wounded spirit who can bear ?
5 Sinner, come ; for here is found Balm that flows for every wound, Peace that ever shall endure, Rest eternal, sacred, sure.
i.t)0« Seeking a Clean Heart. Merrick
1 Blest Instructor, from thy ways Who can tell how oft he strays ? Purge me from the guilt that lies Wrapt within my heart's disguise.
2 Let my tongue, from error free, Speak the words approved by thee ; To thy all-observing eyes,
Let my thoughts accepted rise.
3 While I thus thy name adore, And thy healing grace implore, Blest Redeemer, bow thine ear ; God, my strength, propitious hear.
1 o4i. " Lovest thou Me * " Cowper.
1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord ; 'Tis thy Saviour : hear his word. Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
" Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?"
2 Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love is cold and faint ; Yet I love thee, and adore :
Oh for grace to love thee more !

11 Forgive us our Trespasses." J. Taylob.
1 God of mercy, God of love, Hear our sad, repentant songs : Listen to thy suppliant ones, Thou to whom all grace belongs.
2 Deep our shame for follies past, Talents wasted, time misspent ; Hearts debased by worldly cares, Thankless for the blessings lent ;
3 Foolish fears and fond desires, Vain regrets for things as vain ; Lips too seldom taught to praise, Oft to murmur and complain
4 These and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own;
Humbled at thy feet we bow,
S king strength from thee alone.

Which in our Saviour shine ! — "We'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings,
In notes almost divine.
2 We'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne : In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, We would, to everlasting days,
Make all his glories known.
3 Oh the delightful day will come,
When Christ, our Lord, will bring us home,
And we shall see his face ! Then, with our Saviour, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity we'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.

With strengthened soul I rise ; Sure that our Father, who is nigh To hear the ravens when they cry,
Will hear his children's cries.

When the sad heart is weary and distrest, Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father : Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground ; When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken,
"Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned* -

Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim ; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling,
Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn.

3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide ; Bid darkness turn to day, "Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray

Shall o'er me roll, Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove ; Oh bear me safe above, —

That checks each fault, that calms each And speaks of heaven.

Weary and worn and sad ;
I found in him a resting-place,
And he has made me glad

CAmJ owr Example.
1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we ilee,
And pray to be forgiven, So let thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear ; Like thee, to do our Father's will, Our brother's griefs to share.
8 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, And griefs dark day come on, We in our turn would meekly cry, " Father, thy will be done."
4 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Or brethren faithless prove, — Then, like thine own, be all our aim To conquer them by love.
5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven, Oh may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow thee to heaven !
J. t) i . Christ and the Church. Fbothibgham
1 O Lord of life and truth and grace,
Ere nature was begun ! Make welcome to our erring race Thy Spirit and thy Son.
2 We hail the Church, built high o'er all
The heathen's rage and scoff, — Thy Providence its fenced wall, " The Lamb the light thereof."
3 Thy Christ hath reached his heavenly seat.
Through sorrows and through sears : The golden lamps are at his feet, And in his hand the stars.
•A Oh may he walk among us here, With his rebuke and love ; A brightness o'er this lower sphere, — A ray from worlds above !
lfib. The Church one.
The saints on earth, and all the dead, But one communion make :
All join in Christ, their living Head, And of his grace partake.

*- *J ** * MOXTOO MERY.
' Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel temptation's power: Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with him one bitter hour : Turn not from his griefs away ; Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
»i Follow to the judgment-hall ; View the Lord of life arraigned : Oh the wormwood and the gall ! Oh the griefs his soul sustained ! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss : Learn of him to bear the cross.
o Calvary's mournful mountain climb : There, admiring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time, Love's own sacrifice complete : " It is finished," hear him cry ; Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid his breathless clay : All is solitude and gloom ; Who has taken him away ?
Christ is risen ; he meets our eyes : Saviour, teach us so to rise.

More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day. .

1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run ;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till -moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 For him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head ; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name.
•1 Blessings abound where'er he reigns ; The prisoner leaps to loose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest.
^1U. For the Gifts of the Spirit. Montgomery.
I Give tongues of lire, and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word ; Give power and unction from a Where'er the joyful sound is heard.

And every land a Palestine.
3 Through the harsh noises of our day, A low, sweet prelude finds its way; Through clouds of doubt, and creeds o( A light is breaking calm and clear, [fear,

1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, — Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile ? In vain with lavish kindness
The gills of God are strown : The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone,
3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted
By wisdom from on high, — Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation !
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation Has learnt Messiah's name.
4 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,
And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole ; Till o'er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, and Saviour,
In bliss returns to reign.

Death of a Christian in his "Prime.
1 Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime, In full activity of zeal and power :
A Christian cannot die before his time ;
The Lord's appointment is the servant's hour.
2 Go to the grave : at noon from labor cease ; Rest on thy sheaves, — thy harvest task is done; Come from the heat of battle, and in peace, Soldier, go home, — with thee the fight is won.
3 Go to the grave ; for there thy Saviour lay In death's embraces, ere he rose on high ; And all the ransomed, by that narrow way, Pass to eternal life beyond the sky.
4 Go to the grave : no, take thy seat above ; Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord, Where thou for faith and hope hast perfect love, And open vision for the written word.

1 Like shadows gliding o'er the plain, Or clouds that roll successive on, Man's busy generations pass ;
And while we gaze, their forms are gone.
2 " Pie lived, — he died : " behold the sum, The abstract, of the historian's page ! Alike in God's all-seeing eye
The infant's day, the patriarch's age.
3 0 Father ! in whose mighty hand The boundless years and ages lie, Teach us thy boon of life to prize, And use the moments as they fly ;
4 To crowd the narrow span of life With wise designs and virtuous deeds : So shall we wake from death's dark night, To share the glory that succeeds.
^TlU. For the Opening or Closing Year. Doddbidoe.
I Great God, we sing that mighty hand By which, supported, still we stand ; The opening year thy mercy shows; That mercy crowns it till it close.
2 With grateful hearts the past we own : The future, all to us unknown,
We to thy guardian care commit, And, peaceful, leave before thy feet.
3 In scenes exalted or depressed, Thou art our joy, and thou our rest ; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise Adored through all our changing days.
i^tfc | • Serving God in Daily Labor. c. Wi:slb
1 Forth in thy name, O Lord ! we go, Our daily labor to pursue :
Thee, only thee, resolved to know, In all we think or speak or do.
2 Still would we bear thy easy yoke, And every moment watch and pray; Would still to things eternal look, And hasten to thy glorious day.
^-±0. Tie Acceptable Offering.
A BROKEN heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring : The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice.

Zi^O. ■ Christian Fidelity. C. WESLEY.
1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify ;
A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky ;
2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil :
Oh may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will !
3 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live ;
And oh thy servant, Lord, prepare The strict account to give !
4 Help me to watch and pray, And on thyself rely :
Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forsaken die.
^OU. Confession of Sin. Anxiext Hymns.
1 BEFORE thy mercy's throne, Thy succor, Lord, we seek : For thou art good and great alone ; All helpless we, and weak.
2 Like sheep that go astray, Our wilful course we've run, —
From what thou wouldst, have turned away ; And what thou wouldst not, done.
3 Pour, for the Saviour's sake, Thy Spirit's healthful dew
On those who fain would sin forsake, And thy pure ways pursue.

The Voice of Conscience.
Hymns of the Sftmt
1 Give forth thine earnest cry, O conscience, voice of God !
To young and old, to low and high, Proclaim his will abroad.
2 Within the human breast Thy strong monitions plead ;
Still thunder thy divine protest Against the unrighteous deed.
3 Show the true way of peace, O Thou our guiding light !
From bondage of the wrong release, To service of the right.

From vain pursuits and maddening cares. From lonely woes that wring thy breast, The world's allurements, toils, and snares.

From all the wanderings of thy thought, From sickness unto death made whole, Safe through a thousand perils brought.
3 Then to thy rest, my soul, return, From passions every hour at strife : Sin's works and ways and wages spurn ; Lay hold upon eternal life.
t God is thy rest, — with heart inclined To keep his word, that word believe ; Christ is thy rest, — with lowly mind His light and easy yoke receive.

I, who strayed so long ago, — Strayed so far, and fell so low !
2 I, the disobedient child, Wayward, passionate, and wild; I, who left my Father's home, In forbidden ways to roam !

4 I, who wasted and misspent Every talent he had lent ; I, who sinned again, again, Giving every passion rein !
5 To my Father can I go ? — At his feet myself Til throw : In his house there yet may be Place, a servant's place, for me.
6 See ! my Father waiting stands ; See ! he reaches out his hands ; God is love : I know, I see There is love for me, — even me

Prayer for Mercy in Spiritual Need.
1 Lord, have mercy when we pray Strength to seek a better way : When our wakening thoughts begin First to loathe their cherished sin ; When our weary spirits fail,
And our aching brows are pale ; When our tears bedew thy word, — Then, oh then . have mercy, Lord.
2 Lord, have mercy when we know First how vain this world below ; When its darker thoughts oppress, Doubts perplex, and fears distress ; When the earliest gleam is given Of the bright but distant heaven, — Then thy fostering grace afford ; Then, oh then! have mercy, Lord.

And press with vigor on : A heavenly race demands thy zeal, And an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around
Hold thee in full survey : Forget the steps already trod, And onward urge thy way.
3 Tis God's all-animating voice
That calls thee from on high ; 'Tis his own hand presents the prize To thine aspiring eye, —

Which shall new lustre boast [gems When victors1 wreaths and monarchs' Shall blend in common dust.

3 Where they who meet shall never part ;
Where grace achieves its plan ; And God, uniting every heart, Dwells face to face with man.

2 Oh watch and fight and pray ! The battle ne'er give o'er ;
Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won, Nor once at ease sit down :
Thy arduous work will not be done Till thou obtain thy crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death Shall bring thee to thy God :
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath, Up to his blest abode.

Wait thou his time ; so shall the night Soon end in joyous day.
3 He everywhere hath rule, And all things serve his might
His every act pure blessing is, His path unsullied light.

God sits as sovereign on the throne ; He ruleth all things well.

And for his temple and his tlirone Chooseth the pure in heart.

M Followers of God, as dear Children."
1 We follow, Lord, where thou dost lead, And, quickened, would ascend to thee, Redeemed from sin, set free indeed Into thy glorious liberty.
2 We cast behind fear, sin, and death ; With thee we seek the things above ; Our inmost souls thy Spirit breathe, Of power, of calmness, and of love : —
6 The power, 'mid worldliness and sin, To do, in all, our Father's will ; With thee, the victory to win, And bid each tempting voice be still :
4 The calmness perfect faith inspires, Which waiteth patiently and long : The love which faileth not, nor tires, Triumphant over every wrong.
5 Thus thro' thy quickening Spirit, Lord, Thy perfect life in us reveal,
And help us, as we live to God, Still more and more with man to feel.
0£**T An Independent and Happy Life.
^U< • Sir Henry Wotton.
1 How happy is he born or taught, Who serveth not another's will ; Whose armor is his honest thought, And simple truth his highest skill ;
2 Whose passions not his masters are , Whose soul is still prepared for death, Not tied unto the world with care
Of prince's ear or vulgar breath ;
3 Who God doth late and early pray More of his grace than goods to lend ; And walks with man, from day to day, As with a brother and a friend.
4 This man is freed from servile bands Of hope to rise, or fear to fall ; Lord of himself, though not of lands, And having nothing, yet hath all.

3 Go, labor on ; enough while here, If he shall praise thee : if he deign Thy willing heart to mark and cheer, No toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice ;
For toil, comes rest; for exile, home : Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's

ELIM.
1 I ask not wealth, but power to take And use the things I have aright ; Not years, but wisdom that shall make My life a profit and delight.
2 I ask not that for me the plan Of good and ill be set aside, But that the common lot of man Be nobly borne and glorified.
3 I know I may not always keep
My steps in places green and sweet, Nor find the pathway of the deep A path of safety to my feet ;
4 But pray, that, when the tempest's breath Shall fiercely swoop my way about,
I make not shipwreck of my faith In the unfathomed sea of doubt.

1 Make channels for the streams of love,
Where they may broadly run ; And love has overflowing founts, To fill them every one.

Such channels to provide, The wvy founts of love for us Will soon be parched and dried.
3 For we must share, if we would keep, That blessing from above : Ceasing to give, we cease to have, — Such is the law of love.

2 Like him, thro' scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their gloomy loneliness, Would seek the desolate.

In this wide world of ill ; And, that thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still.

So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine.

3 Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride ; While justice, temperance, truth, and Our inward piety approve. [love

i Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspired to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell, Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store, To feed the cravings of the poor ; Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name, —
4 If love to God and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain : Nor tongues nor gifts nor fiery zeal The works of love can e'er fulfil.

3 Full many a throb of grief and pain Thy frail and erring child must know; But not one prayer is breathed in vain, Nor docs one tear unheeded ilow.

But learn what God is like ! And, in the darkest battle-field, Thou shalt know where to strike.

The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when he Is most invisible !
4 And blest is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man's blindfold eye.

Oh learn to lose with God ! For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee his road.

Zu\J, Heaven a Rest. W. B. Tappan.
1 There is an hour of peaceful rest
To mourning wanderers given ; There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for every wounded breast :
'Tis found alone in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls
By sins and sorrows driven ; When tossed on lifers tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
3 There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
The heart no longer riven ; And views the tempest passing by, Sees evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
ZJ1. The Future Life. Plymouth COL.
1 There is a place of sacred rest,
Far, far beyond the skies ;
Where beauty smiles eternally,
And pleasure never dies.
2 Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom,
Breaks forth the light of morn ;
Bright beaming from the Father's house, To cheer the soul forlorn.
3 The vision of that heavenly home
Shall cheer the parting soul ; And o'er it, mounting to the skies, A tide of rapture roll.
4 For there adieus are sounds unknown,
Death frowns not on that scene ; But life and glorious beauty shine, Untroubled and serene.
OQ9 ^ie Peace and Repose of Heaven.
^4fjLi% w. B. Tappah.
1 There is an hour of hallowed peace
For those with cares oppressed, When sighs and sorrowing tears shall And all be hushed to rest. [cease,
2 'Tis then the soul is freed from fears
And doubts which here annoy; Then they that oft had sown in tears Shall reap again in joy.
3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more ; The stream of endless pleasure flows On that celestial shore.

M Are they not all Ministering Spirits ? " ANON.
1 How cheering the thought, that the spirits in bliss May bow their bright wings to a world such as this ; Will leave their bright home in the mansions above, To breathe o'er our bosoms some message of love !
2 They come, on the wings of the morning they come, Impatient to lead some poor wanderer home ; Some pilgrim to snatch from his darkened abode, And lay him to rest in the arms of his God.
3 They come when we wander, they come when we pray, In mercy to guard us wherever we stray ;
A glorious cloud, their bright witness is given ; Encircling us here are these angels of heaven.
294.
I would not Live alway. Episcopal Col
1 I would not live alway ; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way : I would not live alway : no, — welcome the tomb ; Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom.
2 Who, who would live alway, away from his God, Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns ;
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.

3 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet ; While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the life of the soul ?

Holiness is Everlasting. Henry Moore.
1 All earthly charms, however dear, However they please the eye or ear,
Will quickly fade and fly ; Of earthly glory faint the blaze, And soon the transitory rays
In endless darkness die.
2 The nobler beauties of the just Shall never moulder in the dust,
Or know a sad decay : Their honors time and death defy, And round the throne of heaven on high
Beam everlasting day.
True Wisdom. Wesley's Col.
296.
1 Be it my only wisdom here To serve the Lord with filial fear, With loving gratitude :
Superior sense may I display, By shunning every evil way, And walking in the good !
2 Oh may I still from sin depart! A wise and understanding heart,
Father, to me be given ; And let me through thy Spirit know To glorify my God below,
And find my way to heaven.
297.
Doxology.
To God whose glory fills the sky, Whom all the blessed ones on high
And saints on earth adore, — Be glory as in ages past, So now, and long as earth shall last,
Till time shall be no more.

One 6y One. A. A. Procter.
1 One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall :
Some are coming, some are going ;
Do not strive to grasp them all.
2 One by one thy duties wait thee ;
Let thy whole strength go to each : Let no future dreams elate thee ;
Learn thou first what these can teach.
8 One by one, bright gifts from heaven, Joys are lent thee here below : Take them readily when given ; Ready, too, to let them go.
4 One by one thy griefs shall meet thee ;
Do not fear an armed band : One will fade as others greet thee, — Shadows passing through the land
5 Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear : Luminous the crown and holy, If thou set each gem with care.
299.
Now is the Accepted Time.
1 All around us, fair with flowers,
Fields of beauty sleeping lie ; All around us clarion voices Call to duty stern and high.
2 Thankfully we will rejoice in
All the beauty God has given ; But beware it does not win us
From the work ordained of Heaven.
3 Following every voice of mercy
With a trusting, loving heart ; Let us in life's earnest labor Still be sure to do our part.
4 Now, to-day, and not to-morrow,
Let us work with all our might, Lest the wretched faint and perish In the coming stormy night.
5 Now, to-day, and not to-morrow, —
Lest, before to-morrow's sun, We too, mournfully departing, Shall have left our work undone.

2 My native country, thee, — Land of the noble free, —
Thy name I love : I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills ; My heart with rapture thrHls
Like that above.
8 Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song ! Let mortal tongues awake ; Let all that breathe partake ; Let rocks their silence break, — The sound prolong !

The paths of peace have trod ; Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. •
3 By cool Siloam's shady rill
The lily must decay ; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away.
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, And stormy passion's rage.

3 May erring minds that worship here
Be taught the better way, And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray I

OUO. Prayer. AXON.
1 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of
prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes known !
2 In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's snare, By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
OUO. God — our Father. S. S. II. Book.
1 Great God, and wilt thou condescend To be my Father and my Friend, —
1 but a child, and thou so high, The Lord of earth and air and sky ?
2 Art thou my Father? Let me be A meek, obedient child to thee ; And try, in every deed and thought, To serve and please thee as I ought.
8 Art thou my Father? I'll depend Upon the care of such a Friend ; And only wish to do and be Whatever seemeth good to thee.
4 Art thou my Father? Then, at last, When all my days on earth are past, Send down, and take me, in thy love, To be thy better child above.
OU I • Teaching of Children. L. E. La>'DON
1 While yet the youthful spirit bears The image of its God within,
And un effaced that beauty wears, Which may too soon be stained by sin ;
2 Then is the time for faith and love
To take in charge their precious eare, _ Teach the young heart to look above. Teach the young lips to speak in prayer.
3 The Infant prayer, the infant hymn,
Within the darkened soul will rise, When age's weary eye is dim, Or sorrow's shadow round us lies.
4 The infant hymn is heard again,
The infant prayer is breathed once more; K -Lisping thus the broken chain, We turn to all we loved before

We're homeward bound. Look ! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores :
We're homeward bound. Steady, O pilot ! stand firm at the wheel ; Steady ! we soon shall outweather the gale ; Oh how we fly 'neath the loud-creaking sail :
We're homeward bound !
3 Into the harbor of heaven now we glide :
We're home at last. Softly we drift on its bright silver tide :
We're home at last. Glory to God ! all our dangers are o'er; We stand secure on the glorified shore, Glory to God ! we will shout evermore :
We're home at last

2 Friends fondly cherished have passed on before ; Waiting, they watch me approaching the shore ; Singing, to cheer me through death's chilling gloom, "Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home." Sounds of sweet melody fall on my ear; Harps of the blessed ! your voices I hear; Rings with the harmony heaven's high dome, "Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home.''1
8 Death, with thy weapons of war lay me low; Strike, King of terrors, I fear not thy blow: Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb; Joyfully, joyfully, will I go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn ; Death shall be banished, his sceptre be gone: Joyfully then shall I witness his doom; Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

God speed the right ; Ne'er despairing, though defeated,
God speed the right. Like the good and great in story, If we fail, we fail with glory :
God speed the right
3 Patient, firm, and persevering,
God speed the right ; Ne'er the event nor danger fearing
God speed the right. Pains nor toils nor trials heeding, And in heaven's time succeeding, —
God speed the right.
4 Still our onward course pursuing,
God speed the right ; Every foe at length subduing,
God speed the right. Truth our cause, whate'er delay it, There's no power on earth can stay it:

His fiery darts fly thickly, Like lightning through the air. Watch on the field of battle.
3 Pray on the field of battle ! God works with those who pray ; His mighty arm can nerve us. And make us win the day. Pray on the field of battle.
4 Die on the field of battle ! 'Tis noble thus to die ;
God smiles on valiant soldiei-s, Their record is on high. Die on the field of battle !

2 We see thy hand; it leads us, it supports us: We hear thy voice; it counsels | and -
it | courts us ; And then we turn away ; and still thy j kindness - For | gives - our | blindness.
3 Oh how long-suffering, Lord! But thou delightest To win with love the | wander-
